Pre-Game Talk: Off day Thread: Or, how we miss MAF

Bring Back Bob Errey, you cowards.

I'm almost positive his departure was mutual. I know he spun it as he wasn't asked to return, but I'm pretty sure he was invited to be part of the rotating cast of analysts. He just wasn't going to be doing all 82 games like he had before. I think he took exception to that and refused to accept a reduced role, so they showed him the door.

They should give him all 84 games.

Why? She wasn't very good.

What’s good? Not Caufield or Malone or TK or any of the other stiffs they have. (To be fair, I don’t often watch the pre, post or between period shows).

Hoffmans can’t afford real rinkside reporters so they need to bring in interns they pay with Monopoly money.

My wife said the same thing. Different job. But they sure have a lot of bad analysts in studio they keep bringing back.

Caufield, Malone, and TK are exclusively on the pregame, post game, and intermission shows.

The only ones doing games are Bourque and Armstrong.

And we will see who is on this year. Hunter is the first one who is going, and that came out from a report by Yohe, not an official announcement.

Craig Patrick was doing pregame and post game shows and quietly disappeared. Mike Rupp did game commentary for two years and wasn't asked back this past year.

These announcements typically happen closer to the season. So more changes could be on the way.

Yeah, if money is the issue, I would not keep bringing back a half a dozen ex-Pens who are terrible analysts and maybe hire fewer, but, better ones.

I can’t remember when I heard any actual good analysis come from any of them. They could clean house for all I care.

There are people on the internet that actually care for and love the sport that give actual insight they worked to get.

It’s the same with TNT and ESPN.

Is Australia equivalent to the Tuesday Night Gold B league in Moose Jaw?
